Who Is the Holy Spirit — The Gift Jesus Gives

I didn’t even know the Holy Spirit existed
before I met Him.

​

My Experience Before I Understood

​

God got my attention…
and all I can say is—

thank You, Jesus.

 

​

Who Is the Holy Spirit?

​

• “The Mind of Christ living in us…”

• 1 Corinthians 2:16

​

I want to share my perspective
of who God has shown Him to be in my life.

The Holy Spirit is:

the Mind of Christ
living in us
when we believe in Jesus
and receive His gift.

1 Corinthians 2:16 (KJV)
“But we have the mind of Christ.”

 

​

How I Knew It Was Him

• “I began to experience Him…”

• Galatians 5 (fruit)

​

 

This is not something I was taught.

I began to experience Him
before I even knew His name.

And as I shared what was happening,
I was told:

This is the Holy Spirit.
This is the fruit He brings.

Galatians 5:22–23 (KJV)
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace…”

 

​

What Is Eternal Life?

• John 17:3

• “To know Him…”

​

​

Jesus told us what life eternal is:

John 17:3 (KJV)
“And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.”

 

To know Him.

Not just know about Him—
but to know Him.

And how do we come to know Him?

Jesus asked the Father
to send us the gift.

John 16:13 (KJV)
“When he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth… and he will shew you things to come.”

 

How much truth?

All truth.

 

He helps us.
He prepares us.
He calms us.
He leads us.

Psalm 23:2 (KJV)
“He leadeth me beside the still waters.”

 

The Gift Jesus Promised

• John 16:13

• “He will guide you into all truth…”

​

This is the gift Jesus gives.

We are saved by grace through faith.

But confession is made unto salvation.

Romans 10:9–10 (KJV)
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus… thou shalt be saved… for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”

​

​

What the Holy Spirit Does

​

• He helps us

• He prepares us

• He calms us

• He leads us

• Psalm 23

 

 

Confession matters.

Because if we don’t confess with our heart—
how can we recognize
the salvation of the Lord
working in our lives?

 

​

Salvation, Confession, and Transformation

• Romans 10

• Philippians 2

   This is where depth happens

​​

​

This is the transformation process
of being saved.

And we need the gift Jesus gave—

the Holy Spirit,
and the Word living inside of us—

to even understand
how much we need Jesus.

 

Philippians 2:12 (KJV)
“Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.”

 

​

Why This Matters

​

• “Do we understand the fear…”

• Obedience

• Separation from God

​

​

Yes, we love Jesus.

But do we understand
the fear of being separated from God
enough to do as the Father says?

 

This is where the Holy Spirit leads us—
into truth,
into obedience,
into life.

How much did God love us?

John 3:16 (KJV)
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son…”

 

​

God’s Love and the Gift of Life

• John 3:16

• Connection to knowing God

​

He loved you so much
that He gave.

So that none should perish—
but have everlasting life.

 

And what is that life?

Jesus already told us.

To know God.
To know Jesus Christ.

 

And the Holy Spirit
is the gift given
to help us walk in that life.

 

​

A Personal Word to You

• “I appreciate you being here…”

• “I thank God for you…”

​

​

I appreciate you being here with me.

I thank God for you.

I pray this is an overflow
from what He has given me—

to you.

 

Because a blessing is a gift from God
meant to be shared…

so others can be blessed
by what He first gave us.

 

Oh how I love Jesus.

And I thank Him
from the depths of my heart.

I feel His anointing on me
to share this with you.

 

This is God’s appointed time.

This is your season
to know
and grow
in the love God has for you.

 

Let’s begin to learn from Jesus
together.

 

And this, my friends—

isn’t this
what Jesus calls the Church?

​

And this leads us to the next question…

👉 What is this Love?
👉 Or rather… Who is Love?
